About this listing
Gibson Les Paul Custom Ace Frehley Signature 1997 - The Spaceman’s Legacy in Heritage Cherry SunburstAce Frehley, AKA "The Spaceman," represented a unique archetype in the rock world, he was a pioneer of atmospheric, aggressive, and melodic guitar playing that inspired an entire generation of players. During the 1996-1997 reunion era, his presence on stage with his trademark three-pickup Les Pauls served as a powerful portrait for fans who associated him with legendary "special effects" guitars that emitted smoke, light, and pyrotechnics. For Gibson, Frehley was the ideal ambassador because his career was almost exclusively defined by the Les Paul, making his signature model a highly sought-after piece of rock history rather than just a marketing exercise.The 1997 release of the Ace Frehley Signature Les Paul marked a high point for Gibson’s "Good Wood Era." Fueled by the massive KISS reunion tour, the initial 300 Custom Shop units sold out in a single hour at NAMM, forcing an immediate move to standard production to satisfy the global surge in demand. This is that very "Made in USA" powerhouse—built to replicate the look and deliver the same tonal explosion as the original guitar wielded by Ace!More than just a standard Custom, this guitar is a genuine piece of rock history. It features an ebony fingerboard with iridescent celluloid lightning bolt inlays and Ace’s signature in pearl at the 12th fret. Every detail reflects the Spaceman legacy, including the headstock portrait, the "Ace of Hearts" truss rod cover, and the triple DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups over a Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish. Built during the "Good Wood Era" with a heavy, resonant mahogany back and a carved AAA flame maple top, this 4.5 kilo instrument is a high-performance rarity for KISS fans and vintage collectors alike.This instrument is in pristine condition and comes complete with its original case, case candy, and the original purchase invoice, making it a definitive museum-grade relic for serious collectors.-----Serial Number: 93367338Includes: OHSC + case candy + Lightning Bolts!Weight: 4.325kg / 9.53lbs-----*** I usually have some interesting items for sale... check out my other listings! ***The pictures/videos in the listings are of the actual item so please have a look for an idea of the cosmetic condition.
